Is It Normal To Have Fever The Next Day After A Vaccination For Measles?

Yesterday my little angel had vaccination for Measles, my pediatricial said that fever may come after 5-6 days; however she got fever today morning onwards. She is 9.5kg and 9 months old. We have given are Dolopar 100, drops three time since morning. Why fever came immediate next days, Is there anything to worry about the fever or it is common.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Fever usually occurs after 7 days of measles vaccine in some cases , mild pain and tenderness at injection site can after vaccination, but fever coming 2nd of vaccination is unlikely due to measles vaccine , it should be investigated for other causes of fever like viral .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
